In the beginning God - created the heavens and the earth.
| LXX |
Now the earth was formless and void , and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let there be light , ” and there was light.
| LXX |
And God - saw that the light (was) good , and (He) separated the light from ... the darkness.
| LXX |
God called the light “ day , ” and the darkness He called “ night. ” And there was evening , and there was morning — the first day.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let there be an expanse between the waters , to separate ... the waters from the waters. ”
| LXX |
So God - made the expanse and separated ... the waters - beneath (it) from the waters - above -. And it was so.
| LXX |
God called the expanse “ sky. ” And there was evening , and there was morning — the second day.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place , so that the dry (land) may appear. ” And it was so.
| LXX |
God called the dry (land) “ earth , ” and the gathering of waters He called “ seas. ” And God saw that (it was) good.
| LXX |
Then God said , “ Let the earth bring forth vegetation : seed-bearing ... plants and fruit trees , each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind - - -. ” And it was so.
| LXX |
The earth produced vegetation : seed-bearing ... plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit - with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
| LXX |
And there was evening , and there was morning — the third day.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night , and let them be signs to Mark - (the) seasons and days and years.
| LXX |
And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth. ” And it was so.
| LXX |
God - made two great - lights : the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And (He made) the stars {as well}.
| LXX |
God set (these lights) in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth ,
| LXX |
to preside over the day and the night , and to separate the light from ... the darkness. And God saw that (it was) good.
| LXX |
And there was evening , and there was morning — the fourth day.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let the waters teem with living ... creatures , and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky. ”
| LXX |
So God created the great - sea creatures and every living thing that moves , (with) which the waters teemed according to their kinds , and every bird of flight after its kind. And God saw that (it was) good.
| LXX |
Then God blessed them (and) said , “ Be fruitful and multiply and fill - the waters of the seas , and let birds multiply on the earth. ”
| LXX |
And there was evening , and there was morning — the fifth day.
| LXX |
And God said , “ Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds : livestock , land crawlers , and beasts of the earth according to their kinds. ” And it was so.
| LXX |
- God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds , - the livestock according to their kinds , and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that (it was) good.
| LXX |
Then God said , “ Let Us make man in Our image , after Our likeness , to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air , over the livestock , and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon (it). ”
| LXX |
So God - created man in His (own) image ; in the image of God He created him ; male and female He created them.
| LXX |
God blessed them and said “ Be fruitful and multiply , and fill - the earth and subdue it ; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth. ”
| LXX |
Then God said , “ Behold , I have given - every vvv seed-bearing - plant on the face of all the earth , and every tree whose fruit contains - seed. They will be for food.
| LXX |
And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth — everything that has the breath of life - (I have given) every green plant for food. ” And it was so.
| LXX |
And God - looked upon all that He had made , and indeed , (it was) very good. And there was evening , and there was morning — the sixth day.
